Tiwary and Abdulla earn Kolkata victory over Delhi

Manoj Tiwary's unbeaten half-century and three wickets from Iqbal Abdulla helped Kolkata Knight Riders to a 17-run win over Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday.Tiwary hit 61
in 47 balls to guide Kolkata to 148 for seven after Delhi captain Virender Sehwag put them in to bat at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium.
Right-hander Tiwary struck two fours and three sixes after skipper Gautam Gambhir's side had made a slow start.
Delhi then pinned their hopes on opening pair Sehwag and David Warner.
Warner was dismissed for two and once Sehwag fell, attempting to hook, for a 23-ball 34 the Daredevils struggled to keep up with the run rate.
Left-arm spinner Abdulla achieved prodigious turn and picked up three for 25 as Delhi finished on 131 for nine.
Kolkata's fourth win in seven matches catapulted them to second in the table. Delhi are bottom having lost five of their seven games.
